MLBPremium MLB DFS Aces and Stacks (June 19) Joel Bartilotta 3 months ago written by Joel Bartilotta Welcome to Monday's edition of Aces and Bases, where I’ll be going through the top MLB DFS Aces and Stacks on DraftKings and Fanduel. It’s Monday and that means we have somewhat of a shortened slate. Tonight we are blessed with a 7-game slate of MLB DFS. We have a handful of top pitchers on this slate. We also have a handful of pitchers that stacking against is a usual play. It’s shaping up to be a small but solid slate. Let’s dig and make some money! MLB DFS Aces – Main James Paxton vs. Minnesota Twins Oft-injured James Paxton is finally healthy again and boy is he pitching well. Over the last month, Paxton has just been phenomenal. He’s pitched to an ERA of just over 3.4, but what’s most important is that he’s been racking up the strikeouts. Over that same period, Paxton has a nearly 34% k rate. There’s no one on this slate that has the K upside that he’s been showing. What helps is that he’ll be fa... 3 months ago 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail
MLBPremium MLB DFS Aces & Stacks (Apr. 21) Joel Bartilotta 5 months ago written by Joel Bartilotta Welcome to Friday's edition of Aces and Bases, where I’ll be going through the top MLB DFS Aces and Stacks on DraftKings and Fanduel. It’s Friday and we have a massive 12-game slate of MLB DFS! On the hill tonight is Shohei Ohtani against a weak Royals team. Anytime that he’s on the hill makes for a fun night of baseball. With pitching tonight after Ohtani, we have a bunch of mid-level arms. We also have some bats in solid spots. Let’s dig and make some money! MLB DFS Aces – Main Shohei Ohtani vs. Kansas City Royals Shohei Ohtani will be the chalk pitcher of the night. He gets a glorious matchup vs. an awful lineup in the Kansas City Royals. The Royals so far in 2023 have been downright bad vs. righties. They have a 25% k rate vs. them and an OPS under .600. That OPS is just brutal! Ohtani has been pitching lights out, as usual. Over the first month of the season, he’s thrown to a .86 ERA and ha... 5 months ago 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail
MLBPremium MLB DFS Aces & Stacks (Apr. 19) Joel Bartilotta 5 months ago written by Joel Bartilotta Welcome to Wednesday's edition of Aces and Bases, where I’ll be going through the top MLB DFS Aces and Stacks on DraftKings and Fanduel. It’s Wednesday and that means we have day baseball! Today we have a 10-game slate of MLB DFS. At first glance, pitching is pretty brutal this afternoon. Most teams are on the back end of their rotations. While that makes for a struggle to pick pitchers, it does make things a bit easier picking bits. There will be plenty of options for our MLB DFS stacks today. Let’s dig and make some money! MLB DFS Aces – Main Justin Steele vs. Oakland Athletics Picking on the A’s with pitchers this season will be a thing. While they’ll occasionally show some glimpses of offense, they are bad. Maybe even historically bad. Against southpaws this season, they have an ISO under .100 and an OPS under .700. With Steele, we have someone pitching very well in 2023. In his first 19 innings o... 5 months ago 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail
MLBPremium MLB DFS Aces & Stacks (Apr. 17) Joel Bartilotta 5 months ago written by Joel Bartilotta Welcome to Friday's edition of Aces and Bases, where I’ll be going through the top MLB DFS Aces and Stacks on DraftKings and Fanduel. Happy Monday Funday! Tonight have a nice-sized 9-game slate of MLB DFS. We have a couple of studs on the mounds that we’ll need to decide on. We also have some arms in the mid-salary range that look extremely appealing. This is shaping up to be an extremely fun slate of MLB DFS. Let’s dig and make some money! MLB DFS Aces – Main Jacob deGrom vs. Kansas City Royals This is essentially a rematch of deGrom’s last outing. A week ago, deGrom faced this same Royals team. He had a really good outing, but it was nothing special. He finished that game with 9 strikeouts over 7 innings of work and allowed 2 ER. I’d expect more of the same tonight against the Royals. Normally we shy away from taking a pitcher throwing against the same team in back-to-back starts. But not with deGro... 5 months ago 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail
MLBPremium MLB DFS Aces & Stacks (Apr. 12) Joel Bartilotta 5 months ago written by Joel Bartilotta Welcome to Friday's edition of Aces and Bases, where I’ll be going through the top MLB DFS Aces and Stacks on DraftKings and Fanduel. We finally have ourselves a full slate of baseball on a Friday night. Tonight, we have a massive 12-game slate of MLB DFS. Pitching-wise, we have a slate that is full of average to slightly above-average arms. There are few clear aces here so we’ll need to dig deep to find arms that will be able to fully take advantage of their spots. With that, we also have a bunch of bats in great spots making for a fun evening of MLB DFS. Let’s dig and make some money! MLB DFS Aces – Main Kodai Senga vs. Oakland Athletics Kodai Senga gets one of the better matchups on paper tonight. I’m going to completely ignore the number of runs that the A’s were able to put up against the Orioles because the Orioles' pitching staff is going to be historically bad this season. Senga should be able to walk through this ... 5 months ago 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail
MLBPremium MLB DFS Aces & Stacks (Apr. 5) Joel Bartilotta 6 months ago written by Joel Bartilotta Welcome to Wednesday's edition of Aces and Bases, where I’ll be going through the top MLB DFS Aces and Stacks on DraftKings and Fanduel. We’ve got day baseball! On this fine Wednesday, we have ourselves a 9-game slate of MLB DFS to navigate through. As we look at who’s on the mound, we have pretty much every end of the spectrum possible. We have the best pitcher in the game in Jacob deGrom. We have the worst pitcher in the game Patrick Corbin. And we also have one of the top prospects in all of baseball making his major league debut in Grayson Rodriguez. What a Wednesday! Let’s dig and make some money! MLB DFS Aces – Main Jacob deGrom vs. Baltimore Orioles I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention Jacob deGrom in the aces section of this article. Yes, the Orioles lineup has been on fire. And yes, deGrom looked somewhat human in his first appearance this season vs. the Phillies. Even though he gave up 5 ER in less than 4... 6 months ago 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail
MLB Pittsburgh Pirates Fantasy Season Outlook Adam Strangis 3 years ago written by Adam Strangis Pittsburgh Pirates Fantasy Season Outlook It’s not the most fun existence in the world, but being a die hard Pittsburgh Pirates fan runs in my blood. About the only good memory I have is being there for the “Cueto” game, which is still the best event I’ve ever attended. It’s not likely to be a pretty season, but that doesn’t mean we can’t find some buried treasure in the Pittsburgh Pirates fantasy season outlook. Pittsburgh Pirates Fantasy Outlook – Offense If you’re looking for offensive pieces from this team…well, you’re going to have to keep looking. There’s only ONE player in the top 180 in ADP from the NFBC at the moment. Even then, first baseman Josh Bell isn’t exactly without risk. He was a bona fide breakout candidate through the first half of last season. Then the second half came around and Bell slashed .233/.351/.429. His power numbers took a significant hit as well with the homers dropping to just 10 and only seven doubles through 55 games. He is likely being drafted appropriately for his position as the tenth first baseman off the board. It’s just important to understand the career marks of a .265 average and .831 OPS are the likelier outcome than the fantastic first half of 2019. Sleepers To really get a grasp on the Pittsburgh Pirates fantasy outlook, we’re going deep. Past Bell, you have to go a long way down the board to find the next Bucco on ADP. Bryan Reynolds burst onto the major league scene in his rookie season, posting a .314/.377/.503 slash line in 491 at-bats. A key piece to the still heartbreaking Andrew McCutchen trade (I will always love Cutch and you can’t stop me), Reynolds proved his worth in real life baseball. However, he’s a fascinating case for fantasy. Hitting only 16 home runs had him tied for 59th among outfielders last year. On the plus side, he tied for eighth in doubles. Reynolds is a nice late addition to an outfield that has a lot of power drafted to it, but it remains to be seen if he’s a true .300+ hitter over time. The only other player that should really be on your radar offensively at this juncture is Kevin Newman. If he gets another 493 plate appearances, he could be a nice plus inn the stolen base category. Newman swiped 16 bags in his first full season. Much like Reynolds, he’s yet to prove he can hit over .300 consistently as well. Pittsburgh Pirates Fantasy Outlook – Pitching – Starters Call me crazy, but there could be significant value in two Pirates starters this season, especially one. This pitcher is a huge part of the Pittsburgh Pirates fantasy outlook. We’re going to start with one of my favorite sleepers to grab late in Mitch Keller. You might be wondering why I’m excited for a pitcher that only has 48 innings in the bigs and got smacked for a 7.13 ERA and a 1.833 WHIP. That’s a totally fair thought, but let’s go deeper. Let’s start with the FIP and xFIP. Both measures were under 3.50, which is a massive difference from the actual ERA. Secondly, Keller has legit strikeout stuff. Even while getting clobbered for runs, he struck out 28.6% of the hitters he faced. His percentage was higher than names like Lance Lynn, Trevor Bauer and Patrick Corbin (barely, but still). It illustrates the talent is there. We also should factor in the Pirates coaching staff was frankly shambles. Numerous ex-Pirates have said how advanced other teams are. Tyler Glasnow was particularly blunt about it after arriving in Tampa. Having a new coaching staff could unlock the goods for Keller. Combining that with better results indicated by FIP and xFIP could amount to an incredible bargain on draft day. There’s also some slight appeal to Joe Musgrove. He slots in as the teams “ace” to start the season. The numbers aren’t going to blow you out of the water here, at career marks of a 4.37 ERA, 3.94 FIP and 21.3% strikeout rate. He doesn’t have the talent of Keller, but could be a solid fill in that you spend virtually nothing on. Pitching – Bullpen There’s scant to really get excited about here. The presumed closer is Keone Kela, but he has yet to throw a pitch in Summer Camp and is on the 10-day IL with an undisclosed injury. That reeks of COVID-19, but it should be noted that is pure speculation and not confirmed. If Kela cannot go, it’s tough to peg who gets the role because manager Derek Shelton has stated that they’ll go mix and match. Kyle Crick has interesting stuff, but a 27/15.5 K-BB% isn’t ideal for a closer. Cases could be made for Richard Rodriguez, Steven Brault or Michael Feliz but they aren’t strong arguments.

The Hurricanes winning helped us finish 2-2 for the day and Cash with the Flash Best Bets snuck out with a slight profit.The Winnipeg Jets blue line is awful and banged up big time.

Sports BettingPremium Cash with the Flash Best Bets: Bad NCAA Beats 4 years ago written by Cash withthe Flash Best Bets had a rough day with a couple of bad beats yesterday. Wesuggested you lay 12.5 points and play Boise State to defeat Marshall and wealso suggested taking 18.5 points and playing Rice to cover at home againstGeorgia Tech. Boise Statewon the football game by seven points after racking up 15 first downs in thesecond half and scored just seven half points while holding Marshall tonegative yards in the second half. That’s a badbeat if ever there was one.Rice was an 18.5-pointhome dawg against Wake Forest and lost 41-21. The Owls went in the locker-roomdown 10 points at halftime and were outscored by 10 points in the second half. That one wasbad luck.Either way, Cashwith the Flash Best Bets went 0-2 ATS on the day.

MLB MLB Fantasy Stacks: Winning Edge for August 23 4 years ago written by This report will provide recommended DFS stack options for today’s 13-game main slate. I will also include my favorite pitching picks. All plays are listed in order of preference. Please check back between 5-6 PM EST as some players can receive rest days or get limited at bats especially as we get closer to the postseason. Make sure you stay up to date with all our favorite plays on our DFS Cheat Sheet as well.Teams with Highest IRTMLB Fantasy Stack: Houston Astrosvs.LHP Jose Suarez (LAA): 5.90 Runs**Low RiskJose Suarez takes the mound for the Angels tonight and he will be facing the power packed Houston Astros. Suarez has been anything but good, allowing righties to slash to a .431 wOBA, .630 SLG, and .417 OBP. He has allowed 33 earned runs across 35 innings pitched to them. Suarez struggles with the long ball, allowing 2.70 HR/9 backed by a 42% flyball and 44% hard contact rate. He has allowed at least four earned runs or more in his last four starts. Pretty steep price to pay here for the Astros, but they continue to slash above their season averages for the month of August and get another great matchup here tonight.Preferred Plays: George Springer ($4100 FD|$5300 DK), Alex Bregman ($4200 FD|$5500 DK), Jose Altuve ($4300 FD|$5300 DK), and Yuli Gurriel ($3300 FD|$5200 DK).MLB Fantasy Stack: Milwaukee Brewersvs. RHP Merrill Kelly (ARI): 5.50 Runs**Low RiskThe Brewers come in behind the Astros for second highest IRT on the slate (as of 5 AM EST). They will face an inconsistent Merrill Kelly, who has an ERA of 5.60 on the road compared to his stingy 3.66 ERA at home. Kelly has pitched the worst he has all year in the month of August, allowing batters to slash to a .387 wOBA, .571 SLG, and .373 OBP. Milwaukee isn’t showcasing a bunch of power in their lineup right now, but they are getting on base and creating runs as indicated by their 117 WRC+ to righties over the last two weeks. I’ll take the over on this one and look for some extra base hits from the Brew Crew.Preferred Stack: Christian Yelich ($4800 FD|$5900 DK), Eric Thames ($2800 FD|$4600 DK), Keston Hiura ($3600 FD|$5500 DK), and Mike Moustakas ($3900 FD|$4800 DK), and Yasmani Grandal ($3100 FD|$4300 DK).Other Teams I Have Interest inMLB Fantasy Stack: Cleveland Indiansvs. RHP Jakob Junis (KCR): 5.30 Runs**Moderate RiskPreferred Plays: Francisco Lindor ($3900 FD|$5000 DK), Carlos Santana ($3700 FD|$5400 DK), and Jose Ramirez ($3400 FD|$4700 DK). Also consider: Greg Allen ($2100 FD|$3800 DK) and Yasiel Puig ($3000 FD|$4500 DK).MLB Fantasy Stack: Minnesota Twinsvs. LHP Matt Boyd (DET): 5.15 Runs**Moderate RiskPreferred Plays: Nelson Cruz ($3800 FD|$5800 DK), Mitch Garver ($3200 FD|$4900 DK), Miguel Sano ($3300 FD|$4700 DK), and CJ Cron ($3000 FD|$4000 DK).MLB Fantasy Stack: Pittsburgh Piratesvs. RHP RHP Anthony DeSclafani (CIN): 4.50 Runs**High RiskPreferred Plays: Josh Bell ($4000 FD|$5000 DK), Bryan Reynolds ($3300 FD|$4700 DK), Starling Marte ($3600 FD|$5400 DK), and Adam Frazier ($2600 FD|$3900 DK), PitchingJack Flaherty RHP (STL): 3.25 RunsLance Lynn RHP (TEX): 3.90 RunsVincent Velasquez RHP (PHI): 3.90 RunsDid you enjoy this piece of content?
